Unique Positioning

"Science + Soul = Alchemy" — a differentiated blend of clinical rigor and intuitive wisdom that stands apart from standard coaching or therapy.

Deep Credentials

20 years clinical experience, licensure in 3 states, trained in London/Switzerland, Brainspotting certified, Workplace Options educator.

Premium Pricing Model

Executive Experience

Track record with leaders across finance, healthcare, legal, entertainment, startups, and hospitality. Corporate consulting background.

Gaps & Opportunities

Search Visibility

Not appearing for "executive coach Boston," "transformational coaching," or related searches. No Google Business Profile.

Social Proof

No testimonials visible on website. No reviews on Google or LinkedIn. For premium pricing, social proof is critical.

Content & Thought Leadership

Substack exists but needs consistent publishing. No blog on main site. Limited demonstration of expertise.

"Science + Soul" Niche

Few competitors blend clinical credentials with intuitive/spiritual work at premium executive level. Can own this category.

Competitive Landscape

The executive coaching and transformational consulting market in Boston is active but fragmented. Most competitors fall into either "pure business coaching" (no soul/spiritual dimension) or "pure spiritual coaching" (lacking clinical credentials). BH Alchemy occupies a rare middle ground.

Competitor Focus Strengths Gap vs. BH Alchemy
G. Scott Graham Executive coaching + meditation Strong SEO, ordained minister, 261 days silent meditation Less clinical training, male perspective
Aviva Psychology Leadership coaching + therapy Clinical credentials, holistic approach Less intuitive/soul focus, group practice feel
Soul Focus Coaching Transformational life coaching Soul/purpose focus, certified coach No clinical credentials, less executive focus
Healing Haus "The Work and The Woo" Energy healing, embodiment, Boston-based Less business/executive focus, newer
BCG/Large Firms Corporate executive coaching Brand recognition, corporate contracts No soul/intuitive dimension, impersonal

Market Position

"The premium consultancy for executives and leaders seeking transformation through the alchemy of clinical expertise and soul wisdom — where science meets the sacred."

Pricing Context

Executive coaching rates range from $200-$3,000/hour, with a median of $717/hour. CEO and C-suite coaching often exceeds $1,000/hour. BH Alchemy's pricing ($350-650/session, $8K-15K partnerships) is competitive for premium executive work.

Growth Strategy

Strategic Pillars

1. Thought Leadership

Establish Brittany as the authority on "Science + Soul" transformation through consistent Substack content, LinkedIn presence, and speaking.

2. Social Proof Engine

Collect and showcase client transformations through testimonials, case studies (anonymized), and LinkedIn recommendations.

3. Strategic Visibility

Optimize for "executive coach Boston," build referral network with executive recruiters, HR leaders, and complementary practitioners.

4. Partnership Conversions

Create a clear ascension path from discovery call → sessions → partnership. Emphasize the 6-month and 12-month offerings.

Target Client Profile

Primary: C-suite executives, founders, and senior leaders (40-60) who have achieved external success but feel internally stuck. They've tried traditional coaching or therapy and found it insufficient. They're open to blending analytical rigor with intuitive/spiritual approaches. Budget is not a constraint; time is.

Secondary: High-potential leaders (30-45) navigating significant transitions — new roles, industry changes, life reinvention. Seeking something beyond executive coaching clichés.
